The fixing portion may be provided in the region on the rear side of the second weir portion on the upper surface portion side and in the region between the pair of the first weir portions on the upper surface portion side in the left-right direction. The gas stove having this configuration blocks the flow of the liquid from the outside to the inside of the pair of first weirs on the upper surface side by the first weir on the upper surface side when the liquid tries to flow along the upper surface portion. Can be done. Further, in this gas stove, when a liquid flows from the front side of the second weir portion on the upper surface side toward the second weir portion on the upper surface portion side, the flow can be blocked by the second weir portion on the upper surface portion side. , It is possible to suppress or prevent the liquid from entering the rear side of the upper surface side second weir portion, that is, the inside of the pair of upper surface portion side first weir portions. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the liquid to reach the fixing portion and the electronic component provided in the region on the rear side of the second weir portion on the upper surface portion side and the region between the pair of the first weir portions on the upper surface portion side.

In the stove of the present disclosure, the fixing portion may be provided on the rear surface side of the rear surface portion. A pair of rear surface side weirs may be provided on both the left and right sides of the fixed portion in the rear surface portion. Each of the pair of rear surface side weir portions extends in the vertical direction, and the upper end portion side thereof may be connected to the rear end portion side of each of the pair of upper surface portion side first weir portions. Since this gas stove is provided with a weir portion (a pair of rear surface portion side weir portions) not only on the upper surface portion side but also on the rear surface portion side, the liquid blocking effect is further enhanced. In particular, even if a liquid tries to flow from the outside to the inside of the pair of rear surface side weirs along the rear surface, the flow can be blocked by the rear surface side weir, so that the pair of rear surface side weirs It becomes easier to more reliably prevent the liquid from reaching the fixed portion or the electronic component arranged between them.
